For my non UK friends and family who aren't privy to the extortionate fees we pay here in England, our tax on sales of goods has gone from 17.5% to a whopping 20%! Absolutely ridiculous right? My first purchase in what I like to call the the robbing era was for petrol. I had the grand idea of standing on the roof of my car and in Martin Luther King style protest "I have a dream, that one day, petrol stations across the country, will cease to bend over the consumer.........!" you get the picture. However it was far too cold and I wasn't wearing my winter gloves and scarf.
I then came up with the quite ingenious idea of imitating Rosa Parks, having a sit in protest in the back of my car. But then passers by might have just wondered what the heck was going on. Instead I went for option C - The British way of thinking. Nod, smile, pay the cashier and forget the fact that we are to be all exploited financially for the next 3 years at least!
Anyhow enjoy the picture!
Much Love and happy spending

Honestly though, I'm not really sure what to make of this increase. But if the the price of full fat milk and porridge starts to rise, then you might hear me beefing!
The increase sucks bud. Ah well. We're all in the same boat together right?
